Google Earth Project

·  How difficult/easy it was – whether you ran into difficulties and problem solved, needed assistance?

It wasn’t the easiest project I had ever tried. It was fun, finding out all of the different facts about each different place in New Zealand and the World. I thought that actually putting the pictures onto Voicethread was quite easy; it was just putting comments and embedding them that was the harder task. We ran into a problem because Samantha deleted the Google earth project folder, and had to redo all of the places again.

· What made you choose the places and were there any issues regarding the choices?

Each of us chose some places that ment something to us, for example, I chose Gallipoli because that was were my dad wanted his ashes to be scattered. On the peninsula. He’s dead. There were a couple of issues regarding different places. We wanted to do a particular thing, but couldn’t because another group was doing it.

· How well did you work with your partner?  We worked in a three because there was an odd number of people. We worked well together as we are friends, but some of the time we got a bit stressed and blamed it on each other. When Samantha accidentally deleted the Google earth project, we all got a bit stressed.

· Did you pull your weight in the project or was it one sided?  We all worked the same amount, but if there was only one E to get in a group, Samantha would have to get it. She put all of the movies on Google Earth, bookmarked them and did everything that we didn’t have time to do.  ·What were the good/bad things about this project?  The only bad things about this project, was probably the amount of stress that was put under us. Especially when Samantha deleted all the files and had to redo everything in 45 minutes. The rest of the project ran easily and smoothly. I felt that the instructions were given clearly.
